Question
A SMART goals tree diagram is a visual tool used in project management to define and organize goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART). It starts with broad goals at the top, which are then broken down into specific goals, indicators, measures, and targets. This diagram helps teams to focus their collaboration and solidify their objectives.

Open your presentation with the list of causes for project failure to emphasize the importance of setting SMART goals. These causes include ill-defined project scope, bad management of expectations and, of course, poorly defined goals. Use this slide to set project objectives. Naturally, you'd want the objectives to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound, but keep in mind that they should be set before the project starts and can't be written in isolation. With this slide, build your SMART goals tree diagram by defining your broad and specific goals, indicators, measures, and targets. Teams that use tree diagrams to create SMART goals describe their collaboration as more focused and solid.
